What Are They Doing in Heaven Today "What are they doing in heaven today?" I don't know, boy, but it's my business to stay here and sing about it. What are they doing in heaven today, Where sin and sorrow are all done away? (Oh) Peace abounds like the river they say. (But,) what are they doing there now? I'm thinking of friends whom I used to know Who lives and suffers in this world below But they're goin' up to Heaven but I want to know What are they doing there now? Oh, There's some whose heart was burdened with care, They [placed] their moment to [citing and fear] But they clung to the Cross with trembling and fear But, what are they doing there now? There's some whose bodies was full of disease Their [citizen] and doctors couldn't give them much ease But they suffered until death brought a final release But, what are they doing there now? There's some who was poor and often despised They looked up to heaven with fear blinded eyes While people was heedless and deaf to their cries. But, what are they doing there now?
